12 SAID TO A SOKOKITA. * Alfred Harper Makes Some Bright Observations on The Far West, Santa Fe, Nov. 15 —lt is said of those who live under the shadow of the mighty Alps that they won der at the tourists who travel .so far to admire the great mounts, and c n not understand the motive that brings them. TO all beauty, to all ugliness, we become accustomed, and it is by new impressions alone that we are made en thusiastio. When first 1 saw this town and country, many and varied were the impressions and easy it was to mention them. Now it has mostly become mo no* onous; an adobe house to me now is no more than a log cabin at home; a Mexican no more than a neuro is in the way of a curiosity in Georgia, and even an Indian in full regalia is but the cause of passinu notice. Soft-eyed Senoritas? Ohl yes, lots of them. Not many are really pretty, but al) have what my friend John Stone used to call “a quick eye.” They have their attractions, and to one of them I came near falling a victim. She was a beanty, and with a bright smile she said to me: “Buenos dies, Senor!” “Sic semper tyrannis,” says I. Then she said a whole lot of musical stuff that sounded all right, but which I could not understand. “Erin go bragh, ” says I. She gave a lot more Spanish, and didn’t smile so sweetly. • “Sprechen Sie Deutsch?” I asked, Her nose commenced to turn up. “Polly voo froglegs, perhaps,” I added. But I had already thoroughly ruined my chances and she went on her way exhibiting all the offended pride of her Castilian parentage. One has to talk Spanish to be much of a beau with these black eyed Mexi cans, but that isn’t what I’m out here for so it makes no difference. And yet some Americana here play a winning hand on the principle that a senorita in the hand of somebody else is worth a half dozen in one’s own hand, or, to be more explicit, other people’s geese are swans and his geese are all crows. One of the qneer things out here is the prevalence of old women. From my room to the postoffice I pass through a picturesque Mexican part of the city all dobies, great strings of red and green chili hanging in front, hairless Mexican dogs and the like. I think in the space of one or two hundred yards I see no less than a dozen women who appear to be anywhere from seventy to one hundred and fifty years old. And as much as lam conscious of the opposi tion to the deadly cigarette, I am com pelled in candor to state that all of them smoke cigarettes incessantly and have all their lives. This is the season for bear and deer hunting in the Rockies, and parties go out from here frequently. There are few if any grizzlies left, but cinnamon and black bear are not uncommon. A mag nificent specimen of the latter was hanging in front of a butcher shop a day or two ago. I notice that tenderfeet are most anxious to run up against a bear, and that old timers want good backing when they tackle that animat A man in the hospital here not long ago with all of one side clawed off and several ribs and a collar bone broken was a barely living example of the fact that a good gun and good aim don’t always beat a bear. It’s very hard to reach the vitals of a good, healthy bear. People back East would be surprised, perhaps, at the opinion held by Ameri cans of prominence here concerning the ~BLADDER TROUBLES. I The bladder was created for one pur pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine, and as such it is not liable to any form of disease except by one or two days. The first way is from imperfect action of the kidneys. Thesecond way is from careless local treatment of other dis eases." SAMPLE SENT FREE. Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid neys is the chief cause of bladder trou bles. It is comforting to know that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root fulfills every wish in quickly curing bladder and urin nary troubles. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding or stinging pain in passing it, or bad effects follow ing nse of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and extraordinary effect of Dr. Ki mer’s Swamp-Root is soon real zed It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distiesnng cases.

Men *tion The Rome Tribune and send your address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bing bampton, N. Y. The proprietors of the -paper guarantee the genuineness of the <«ffer. i . •‘‘l • 7- •' republic of Mexico. To bear some of them talk one would think that country the garden spot of the earth, and the financial system the perfection of mod ern ingenuity. I was talking this morn ing with two of the most prominent and popular men in this section—one was tne leading physician, the other post master at this point, and both are en thusiastic about Mexico. And as for President Diaz they have no words too good. “He is, ” said the doctor, ‘‘the great est statesman produced by the 19th ceri tury, bar none. He has for twenty-six years handled a people and a country that seemed incapable of being governed, incapable of improvement almost. Elected under a constitution that pro hibited more than one term, the consti tution was changed before his first term expired and he has been president ever since. With every privilege that he grants he gains something for the repub lic. He makes the railroads furnish a third class fare of one cent a mile fcr the poor classes, and the ordinary fare is only two cents. When Pullman wanted to put in his cars the president demanded a reasonable rate. “Make it reasonable or stay; out,” said Diaz, and Pullm in made it reason able. For instance the Pullman fare from Kansas City to Santa Fe is ,SB, a distance of 800 miles. From El Paso to City of Mexico is 1600 mile and the Pull man fare is $4.50 in American money. “ ’ ‘Thus itliTthat Diaz is alwayslook ing out for his country and people. Whenever he grants a privilege he gets some hing for the people, some conces sion for their benefit. ‘ ‘The country is the richest c.n earth. Plant cotton there and it bears for six or eight years without replanting. Same way with sugar cane. In one district there $1,200,000,000 (twelve hundred million dollars) worth of silver has been taken out and the mines are still worked at a profit. Fruits of all kinds grow there, some never heard of in this coun try. In the district I speak of and many others, it is perpetual summer. The thermometer at—never goes lower than 60 nor higher than 85. The is perfect.” Thus do they talk, only more so, and it gives one an idea that in spite of dif ference of language and ell that Mexico would be a pretty good haven of rest for the winter. These gentlemen claim that a Mexican dollar buys as m.uch or more in Mexico than an American dollar does here. They add that the laboring class, while working for small wages, is con tented and in most cases money is saved. In the cities alone are to be found the evidences of poverty such as is often described, Another interesting talk I had the other day was with a very charming lady from Colorado. In that state, you know, women vote in all elections. This lady informed me that she was a repub lican and her husband a democrat. There was an election a short time since, and she delayed her trip here that she might vote. Both she and her hus band voted mixed tickets, and each was satisfied with the other’s vote.” “I don’t know that suffrage for women does much good.” she said, “even in the liberal and broad minded West. In Colorado about as many bad votes were brought in as good ones, and he general result is about a stand off. I think women have done much good on the school boards and snob places, but I fear more harm than good in the legislature. However, taken all in all I guess it has been a good thing fur Colorado. I am nothing of a woman suffragist, but I must confess that the lady who voiced this sentiment is one of the dain tiest, most lady-like little women I’ve met in this country. She looks like one of those old time portraits of gentle .olk, and there’s nothing of the new woman about her in appearance or manner. The Rambler. Cascarets stimulate liver, kidneys and bowels.

The Gaulois, in Paris, recently re lated in considerable detail that during the Siamese imbroglio of 1893 England was on the verge of declaring war against France The power that opposed the war most vigorously was Germany Ln fact, said the Gaulois, the war was prevented by the German emperor. “At that time,” said the Gaulois, “Emperor William was at Cowes with his yacht He had won a regatta priz< from Lord Dunraven's Valkyrie and the Prince of Wales’ Britannia He appear ed, literally as well as figuratively, to swim in English waters. Lt was as he. sat at dinner in the house of the Royal Yacht squadron that he received from Count Hatzfeldt the news that the Eng , liahjroverniusnt intemied to declare w j.

Moreover, he be took himself at once to Osborne House to announce to his grandmother that be never could approve such a course as re gards Siam. ’ Sometimes Paris newspapers publish articles on European politics that lack all foundation in fact, and the amazing story told by the Gaulois might have been dismissed as one of them had it .pot been confirmed at once by the Koel nische Zeituug, probably the most trust worthy journal on the European conti nent The Koelnische Zeitung’s Paris correspondent was at Cowes with the emperor in 1893 As soon as the Gau lois had made its statement he corrobo rated it Among the influential English men at Ccwes. he said, it was then common talk that the German emperor was England’s ally against Siam and France Lord Dufferiu, then English embassador in Paris, had come to Cowes to conclude the negotiations for an alii ance, but had been met with the emper or’s blunt refusal to take the active part that England wished to assign him. The Kqelnische Zeitung’s correspondent as serts that the correctness of this state ment is absolute and beyond question among the initiated who were at Cowes during the German emperor’s sojourn there.
